I always wanted a Cobra 427...Maybe one day I'll build one of those kit car replicas
I owned a 68 Nickey 427 Camaro for a while. It was awesome. It would burn up tires like anything...Amazing torque
Bur Cobras had that Ford side oiler 427..I hear they are even faster

Im kinda over the whole sports car thing and although I dont have a specific car in mind I know I want luxury, comfort, tech and an ultra quiet ride. Electric would be great just to eliminate engine noise and of course burning gas.

I'll sell you my bicycle
If I win the lottery and it's an insane amount of money I'm buying a Pagani Zonda R
If it's just a lot of money I'll be building a bunch of my own cars:
Old and new Mustang hot rods
Porsche 911 GT3
BMW Mr
Ford Fairlane thunderbolt
And on and on...

My dream car would be heavily modified. Not even a restomod, because a restomod is a hybrid of restoration and modernization. This would be ground-up custom aside from signature looks.
Something like this.
C1 mkII Corvette with removable hardtop. Except in midnight blue with a very mild black metal flake that is only noticeable up close and a candycoat. White second tone for the flare vent contours. All chrome is replaced with polished/coated 7075 aluminum for weight, strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.
Graphene unibody conversion of a 58/59 C2 Corvette with a partial 4130 chrome-moly reinforced subframe based on a number of modern retro-fit chassis designs and a 1.5" shortened vehicle length at the fender. Modified and tuned for fuel economy MB 2.1l bluetec diesel(sacrilegious, but I'm not a purist, so IDGAF) mated to a modified 6speed manual. Modern handling, modern features like power steering, LED lights, 4 wheel disc carbon ceramic brakes, dual master cylinder, power windows, modern mechanical HVAC. Rebuilt dash, cockpit and seats. 2way LSD.
Other than using grapheme, the rest is realistic. An 1900lb, 180hp/350lb-ft car that seats 2 people comfortably, and is capable of 30mpg city/50mpg hwy. Using graphene and titanium where practical and reliable, that would drop the weight(in theory) 25%. And not to mention, this would be a million-mile engine, easily.
That, ladies, is how you do it. It's a Dream Car... so dream something up.
